POPULATION GENOMICS AND DEMOGRAPHIC MODELING ENHANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF TROPHIC LEVEL INTERACTIONS IN BIOLOGICAL CONTROL

Population genomics and demographic modeling enhance our understanding of trophic level interactions in biological control

In this paper, we focus on the application of population genomics, including next-generation sequencing and demographic modeling, to enhance the understanding of historical and contemporary trophic level interactions that are a fundamental basis of biological control.We outline how the integration of ecological approaches with population genomics a

Probing cerebrospinal fluid mobility for human brain clearance imaging MRI: water transport across the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and mobility of cerebrospinal fluid in perivascular spaces

Background.The growing interest in the brain clearance system in the last decade has led to great insights into how waste clearance via perivascular spaces acts like a lymphatic-like system.However, most of these observations have been done in rodent studies, often with invasive techniques.When aiming to understand the human brain clearance system,

Influenza H5N1 virus infection of polarized human alveolar epithelial cells and lung microvascular endothelial cells

Abstract Background Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus is entrenched in poultry in Asia and Africa and continues to infect humans zoonotically causing acute respiratory disease syndrome and death.There is evidence that the virus may sometimes spread beyond respiratory tract to cause disseminated infection.The primary target cell fo

The Effect of Changing the Weights of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Weights of Sodium Chloride on Some Physical Properties of Carboxymethylcellulose Thin Films

The objective of this work is to improve certain physical properties of the polymer Carboxymethylcellulose (CMCHV).The samples were prepared by adding sodium chloride and Zinc oxide nanoparticles to Scrappers CMCHV solutions at different weights (0.00, 0.75, 1.50, 2.25, 3.00 g).       When samples are exposed to heat,
